HC Deb 27 January 1943 vol 386 cc508-9W
Sir I. Fraser

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to ensure that adequate supplies of wireless sets and valves, batteries and other components for replacement will be continuously available for the civilian population?

Mr. Dalton

I fully realise the importance of providing sufficient new civilian wireless sets and of keeping existing sets in use. Arrangements have been made to supply components for the completion of over 100,000 sets now in process of manufacture. Steps have also been taken to maintain adequate supplies of components, and of valves and batteries, subject only to the essential requirements of the Services.
